A Fox Named James McCloud

James McCloud was once a hero he had saved the Lylat system again the forces of Andross. Now, now he a janitor at the local school in Cornelia City. He was once hero he is now a janitor. Fame doesn’t last lone in the Lylat system, James knows that. “Fucking job.” Working as a janitor isn’t a job, James has to moob the floor after school kids and probably the worst thing ever, cleaning the toilet.

He finished the last spot on the floor on the second floor, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. “There, all done.” He looked over his work, he was satisfied. “Time to check out.” He but the mob in his bucket, picked it up and walked to the janitor office. Once there, he opened the door and walked inn. Once inside he poured the dirty water into the sink and put away the bucket and mob, after that he took of his janitor outfit, grabbed his jacket, and signed off in the journal on the desk. He then walked out, closed the door and locked it.

Once outside the school, he walked towards the parking lot and the only car there, it was a Temper R4 model which was the cheapest car one could buy, and it was almost falling apart. “Man, what a piece of crap I’m driving.” Being the saviour of the Lylat system doesn’t pay the bill or get you the fancy car, you have to drive what you can afford. James car had white paint, which was falling off, his tiers didn’t match, and it look like the whole car was going to fall apart. It was the only thing he could afford.

He opened the car door and got in and the first thing he did was opened to glove compartment, where is phone was. He turned it on and saw that he had gotten a text and it was from Peppy, it read. ‘How was work?’ James rolled his eyes when he saw the text, he answered. “Why do you keep asking he same question over and over when you know the answer?” And he send it. “Idiot.” James tossed the phone on the second front seat, he then leaned against the seat and let out a frustrating sigh. “I wish something would happen.” He was about to start the car when he heard some noise in the bushes.

James look at bushes while growling. “Great, horny teenagers.” One problem the school had was horny teenagers, they usually come after dark and have sex on the school property and it was James who had to deal with it since the school couldn’t afford security. He went to glove compartment and took out a flashlight and a gun, why gun? Sometimes a teenager wasn’t the only problem. He also took his phone with him in case he had to call the police.

“I guess I have to deal with the problem.” James got out of the car and pointed the flashlight where he heard the sound and started to walk towards the bush, he had his gun ready. Once there he bushes away some branches and what he saw was not some teenagers having sex but a naked female pony. “What the hell?” It was a purple naked pony, her hair and tail had three different colours, purple with some dark purple and pink? She had some tattoo on her ass. She had to be twenty five, at least. She was lying on her back.

“Miss, are you ok?” She didn’t respond so James put two finger on her neck to check if she was breathing, he found a pulse. “That’s a relief.” He then notice that her breast was C cup, he shook his head. ‘Why am I looking at her breast?’ He thought while not trying not to look at them.

She then started to stir then she then opened her eyes. “Oh, my head.” She put a hand on her head. “What happened?” She ask no one in particular while sitting up. She then decided to have a look around, and then she saw James. “A monster, stay away from me.” She started to back away from him.

James was offended by that. “Hey, I’m no monster. My name is James McCloud, and I am a fox and if you want to stay on my good side, I suggest you don’t call me a monster.”

The pony managed to calm down. “You’re a fox?”

James gave a blank stare. “Yes, I am a fox, and you are a pony. Now we gotten that out of the way, mind telling me what you are doing in front of school this late and naked.”

She tilted her head. “Naked?” She then looked down on her body and notice she was indeed naked. “What happened to my clothes?” She then tried to cover herself up with her breast and pussy with her hands, it kind of work.

She then closed her eyes and it looked like she was trying to a number 2. “What the hell are you doing?” James asked the mare.

“I am trying to use my magic to push you away.” She eventually gave up. “Why isn’t it working?” She then decided to touch her forehead, she started to panic when felt nothing. “My horn, where is my horn?” She then started to look on the ground around her. “I can’t use my magic without my horn.” She as trying to find her horn.

James just watch this weird mare looking around for her ‘horn,’ he then decided to get some answer. “Miss.” The pony didn’t listen to him she just keep on looking, he decided to speak a little higher. “MISS” That got her attention, she stopped looking to look at him. “I am staring to lose my patience here, if you don’t tell me who you are and how you ended up here, I am going to call the police and have you arrested for trespassing on school property, got it?” She nodded. “Good, now talk.”

Twilight didn’t know if she could trust this James, but at the moment, she didn’t have any choice. “My name is Twilight Sparkle and I’m from a town called Ponyville.”

James raised an eye brown when he heard where she was from “Ponyville? Where the hell is that? Up north or something?”

Twilight blinked a few times. “What? You don’t know, where am I?” She asked James.

“You are on the planet Corneria in the Lylat system, this is Corneria city and we are outside Corneria east school.”

Twilight was now confused she had never heard those names before. “Corneria? Lylat system? Are you telling me I am not in Equestria anymore?”

“Lady, I have never heard about Ponyville or Equestria before. I was never any good at geography at school, but I have never heard those names before in my life”

That made Twilight panic even more. “This is bad, I was just trying to teleport home, not to another world.” Then the tears came, she placed both hands on her face and started to cry. “What happened?” She said between sobs.

James felt bad for her, if she was telling the truth, then she was just a lost soul far from home. He looked at the watch at his phone, it was almost nine in the evening. He then looked at the crying pony. ‘I am going to regret this, but I can’t just leave her here.’ He let out a sigh. “Twilight you need to calm down, crying isn’t going to help.” He hope it help, it did, she stopped crying. “Look, I don’t know if you are telling the truth or not, but if you are willing to come with me to my home, I know someone that can help you. Also, it’s getting late, and I am tired from work.” He held out a hand to her. “I promised that you can trust me.”

Twilight looked at the hand and then at James, she didn’t know if she could trust him or not, but there was something in his eyes that told her that she could. “Ok, I trust you.” She took his hand and he help her up.

“Good, come on. I have some spare clothes in the trunck of my car.” He started to walk back to his car, once they were there he opened the trunk he then took something out. “Here, put this on.” He tossed a green janitor outfit the pony.

Twilight managed to catch it. “A janitor outfit, is this your?” James nodded. “You work as a janitor?” He nodded again. “Don’t you have anything ells?”

He closed the trunk. “No, so unless you want to ride back to my apartment butt naked, you have to wear that.” He told her while walking to the drive seat to the car.

There was logic to what he said, she didn’t want to others to see her naked. She put on the janitor dress. Once dressed, she walked over to James, who was trying to start his car.

“Just what is this you are sitting in?” She had no idea.

He just gave her a confusing look. “You’re kidding? Right?” She just gave him a blank look. “This is car, we use it to get to point A to B. You don’t have a car where you are from?”

Twilight shook her head. “No, we have chariot and trains, that’s it.”

James look at her in disbelief. “Chariot and a train, that’s your transportation?” He asked Twilight who just nodded. For some reason, James hit his head on the steering wheel. “Dear god, please tell me that your train is fast.”

“Well, it’s a steam train.”

James couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard that. “Then my world is going to be a shock for you,” he lifted his head from the steering wheel. “go to the other side and get in.” Twilight hesitated for a moment, but she eventually walk to the other side.

James open the door for Twilight, and she got in. While she did that James put the gun back into the glove compartment, he then closed it. “What was that?” She asked him.

“That was gun, a weapon.” Twilight eyes widen and she became very nervous when she heard that. “This world is a dangerous and some of us need something to protect us with.” That made Twilight even more nervous, and James saw that. “What kind of world do you come from? A place with rainbow and candy.”

“I wouldn’t say that but yes.”

James couldn’t help but feel sorry for this girl, she was going to get eaten alive here. “Alright then, close the door so we can get moving.” He told her while trying to start the car again, Twilight managed to close the door.

James turned the key, but it didn’t start. “Come on you piece of junk, start.” He turn the key a few times more and it eventually started. “About time, put on your seatbelt.” James reached for his and Twilight mimic what he did, he put the car in gear, and they drove into the unknown, for Twilight.

Author's Note

The story is back and this time it's ging to stay, I hope.

In the next chapter we will find out what happened at the wedding after Twilight left.

This story take place ten years before the game Star Fox 64.

Rumble at the Wedding

While they were driving to James apartment, Twilight was telling him what happened before she appeared in his world and he couldn’t help but feel bad for her. Her best friends, her teacher didn’t believe her.

James open the window on his side. “I’m sorry for what happened to you, they doesn’t sound like friends to me.” He said while taking out a cigarette from the packet.

Twilight just pulled her leg up to her chest. “I have known them for two years, princess Celestia since I was seven, I just can’t believe that they didn’t want to listen to me.” Some tears appeared in her eyes. “Maybe it was just an illusion, maybe the princess was just using me.”

James lighter the cigarette with his lighter, he took a drag from it and let smoke come out from his nose, he made sure that he was facing the window. “Maybe it was illusion, maybe not. If you feel something for them then they should do the same.” James saw that Twilight had a sad face, so he decided to ask her about something ells. “What about your parents? What did they think about this?”

His question was a mistake, she became even more sadder. “My parents died when I was seven and princess Celestia took me inn, she became like a mother to me but now I’m starting to wonder if that was all a lie.”

Now James felt like a jackass. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

Twilight let out a sighed. “Don’t worry about it, you didn’t know.”

Then James decided to ask another question. “What about the wedding?” Twilight look at him with confusion. “Aren’t you curios about who this fake Cadence really are or if your friend managed to find out who she really is?”

“No, I don’t care, they didn’t care about me so why should I care about what happened to them.”

James couldn’t help but think that she was a little hard on them, but he was still curios of what happened. Let’s find out.

Back in Canterlot the wedding was on its way and ponies was taking their place in the room where it was taking place, standing as bridesmaids was Twilight friends. They tried to act professionals, but it wasn’t easy when the scene from yesterday was lingering in their mind.

“Have any of you seen Twilight since yesterday?” Fluttershy asked her friends.

Rarity shook her head. “Not since she accused princess Cadence from being evil and went on her rant, I still can’t believe that she said that.”

“Who care about her Twilight? She clearly lost her mind.” Said Dash with a snort.

“Aren’t you being a little too harsh on her?” Applejack asked Dash.

Dash look at AJ. “And why not? You saw her yesterday, she was trying to ruin Shining Armor wedding for fuck sake.”

“Rainbow, languages.” Rarity hissed at her, Dash just rolled her eyes.

Then the doors open and in walk the fake Cadence with a smile on her face, She then walk down the room to where Shining and Celestia was standing ready to get married.

High above the castle, sitting on a cloud and eating popcorn was creature called a human. “Where the hell is Twilight? She should be her by now.” He said while taking a hand full popcorn in his hand and eating them in one go. “Did she run away again?” His eyes started to glow as he look around. “I can’t see her in the castle and the real Cadence is still in the cave.” He let out a sighed. “I guess I have to save this wedding too.” He then stood up and then jump off the cloud while saying; "Maximum effort."

The fake Cadence has finally arrived at the altar and Celestia had said what shew was supposed to say. “..it’s my great pleasure to pronounce you…”

Before Celestia could finish her sentence, someone crashed through the ceiling and landed in the middle of the room. It was a creature that look like a hairless ape, he was wearing a pair of black pants and black jacket, was stood out the most that was his hair, the left side was white while the right side was black.

He landed in a superhero position, he then stood up. “I ding ling dong protest of this wedding.” The entire room was silence after he said that. “Worst Flanders imitation EVER.” The room was still silence, expect Pinkie who just giggled.

Then Celestia spoke up. “I don’t know what or who you are but you are intruding on my niece wedding.”

The creature straighten out his jacket. “If that fake one is your niece, then who is this?” He then snap his fingers and then another Cadence appeared next him. “This is the real Cadence.” This one was wearing a wedding dress that look like the fake one, but the real one didn’t look like she had taken a bath in a while.

The real Cadence look around with a happy smile on her face. “I’m free, I’m not in the cave anymore.” She then saw what was happening with her fiancé. “Hey, I’m supposed to marry Shining, not you.” Cadence said to the fake one.

The entire room was in shock, nobody didn’t know what was happening. Then Applejack spoke up. “Wait a minute, there’s two of them?”

The creature just slap a hand on his face. “For the love of…” He then snap his fingers again and the fake Cadence disguise disappeared, where the fake Cadence stood was now a female Changeling with green hair wearing a black dress. “That is Chrysalis, the queen of the Changelings and she has been imitated Cadence for a week now, right under your noses and here’s the funny part, your glorious ruler Celestia was clueless.” He then summoned a glass of champagne. “Way to go sun butt.” He then drank from the glass and then he tossed it away.

All of the ponies was in shock right now, they couldn’t believe their eyes and ears. Cadence was a fake and Celestia was clueless, was it true?

Then Chrysalis spoke up. “Just who are you?”

The creature placed a hand on his chin. “Well, I guess I can show you mine other form.” He closed his eyes and then he started to glow, he then started to grow, fur started to appeared on him, wings appeared on his back and he got a horn on his head. His left side was white while his right side was black. “My name is Libre and some of you know me as the alicorn of chaos and harmony.” The entire room was quite, they never in their life thought they would see another alicorn beside Celestia. “Wow, though crowed.” He then snap his fingers to summoned a chair which he sat down on.

Libre’s action just confused everyone. “What are you doing?” Chrysalis asked him.

“What does it look like? I’m sitting down on a chair.” He then summoned a bag of popcorn and started to eat of it, he then hand it to Cadence. “Want some?” Cadence just started at him wondering if he was serious or not. “I think Celestia is going to try and stop you Chrysalis."

Chrysalis just was confused as she look over to Celestia who had a serious look on her. “If you think you can come her and threaten my little ponies Chrysalis, then think again.”

Libra couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Would you stop with the ‘my little ponies’ crap, they are not yours.” Celestia didn’t listen at all.

Celestia fired a beam from her horn towards the queen of the Changeling who counter with a beam herself, at first it look like they were evenly match but then Chrysalis started to push Celesta’s beam back and she managed to hit Celestia sending her flying backwards so she hit the wall, Celestia landed on the ground unconscious. Rarity and the girls, with Spike ran over to her to see if she was okay.

Chrysalis was pleased with herself. “Ah, Shining’s love for Cadence is more powerful then I thought, consuming it has made me even more powerful then Celestia.” She said while using her wings to fly a little.

Libre couldn’t help but snort. “That’s so wrong, the only reason you won over her is because she has lost confident in her own magic, what’s she become is lazy, always counting on others to her dirty work.” He ate the rest of his popcorn. “I guess I have to stop you, again.” He then got into a fighting position which was just weird, he was standing on his left leg and his right was up to his stomach, his arms was stretch out like a crane. “Let’s do this.”

Chrysalis couldn’t help but laugh of what she saw. “You do really think you are going to beat me standing like that, you’re a joke.”

To her shock he just smiled. “Then you have nothing to worry about.”

That made her mad. “I’ll show you.” She fired a powerful beam from her horn which hit Libre right in the chest creating a explosion, Chrysalis couldn’t help but smile when she saw the explosion. “Ha, so much for the alicorn of chaos and harmony, that was to easy and…”

Then she was interrupted. “Do you ever shut up?” Every pony in the room was in shock when they heard Libre, he then walk out of the smoke, unharmed. “Or you just like to hear yourself talk.” He said with a smile on his face.

Chrysalis was speechless. “How… how is this possible? I put everything I had in that attack.”

Libre just shrugged his shoulders. “Your attack was weak, that was also the beam that you used on Celestia, I could fell it.”

Chrysalis snarled at him. “I’ll show you weak.” She fired another powerful beam from her horn, Libre just held up his hand and absorbed the magic. Chrysalis couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “No, it’s not possible.” She said while backing away in fear.

“My turn.” Libre fired a beam from the hand he used to absorbed Chrysalis magic with the queen of the Changelings tried to put up a shield but the beam just shattered the shield and vaporize her like it was nothing. “Well, that was easy.” Every pony in the room was speechless, they couldn’t believe this Libre just killed Chrysalis like that. “I guess my work is done, see you all in another life.” He then bounced out of the room while singing skip to my lou.

Author's Note

I know, it not a good chapter, I suck when it comes to action scene.

Yes, Twilight doesn't have any parents in this story, I just wanted to write something different.

Libre is my oc.

Home, Crappy Home

James had just entered the financial district of Corneria and Twilight had for the moment forget all about what happened to her in Equestria, she was at the moment mesmerized by the buildings they drove by as she had her face up to the window of the car. She also could see people out on the street, they look like different animals.

“Just how tall is these buildings?” She asked James.

“I’m not sure, some of them are forty floors while others are fifty floors, maybe bigger.” James told her.

Twilight was amazed by what she heard. “Really?” James just nodded. “That’s insane, just how many lives in this place?”

“Around 25 million people.”

Twilight’s brain shut down when she heard that. “What…? How…? How is that possible? Around five hundred thousand ponies live in Equestria. How can so many people live in one place?”

James just shrugged his shoulders. “How should I know, I think for planet around 5 billion lives on this planet.”

Twilight placed both hands on her head. “My brain hurt.” James just rolled his eyes, maybe it would wise not to tell her how many live in the system, she would probably have a heart attack. Twilight decided to ask him something ells. “So, where do you live in Corneria city?”

James took another drag form his cigarette and blew the smoke out of his nose. “I live in the south.”

Twilight tilted her head to the side in confusion. “South?”

“I guess I can explain. You can say that Corneria city is split into four part, north, east, south and west. The rich people lives up north while those who are just between the rich and poor live in the east and west.”

“What about those in the south?” Twilight asked him

James took another drag from his cigarette. “Those in the south, you can say that where the poor live or those who can’t by an apartment, criminal are also high in the south.” Twilight became very nervous when she heard that. “Don’t worry, I live in the better part of the town.” Twilight was a little glad to hear that but she was still nervous.

Then all of sudden they saw blue and red lights coming from behind. “Shit, it’s a cop, I hate cops.” James threw the cigarette out of the window, he then pull over to the side and then went to his glove compartment to get some papers. “Just shut up and let me to the talking.” He told Twilight who just nodded her head.

Twilight watch as someone walk over to James window, he was wearing a blue uniform but she was more focus on the person who was wearing the uniform, it was a tiger who was oranges with black stripes.

The officer flashed a flashlight in the car “Paper please.” The cop said in a male voice. James handed him the paper he found. “Sir, you know that your left taillights is broken, right?”

“I am fully aware officer I just don’t have the money to fix it.”

The officer nodded. “I see.” He then look at the paper, then at James. “Hold on.” He took a closer look at the paper. “Are you James McCloud?” He asked while looking at James again.

“That’s what’s it says on the paper.” James said with some sarcasm, the office didn’t care.

The cop then flashed the light in James face who had to cover up his face. “You really him?” James nodded. “I don’t know if you have heard this before but your my hero.”

James was taken of guard there, he had never heard that before. “Can’t say that I have. Is there something else you pulled me over for or can I get home? I’m tired.”

The officer hand James back his paper. “Sure, you can leave just remember to fix the tail light.”

James took the papers. “I will when I can afford it.” He then started the car and drove off.

Twilight watch as the police officer disappeared from her sight. “He was nice but I was surprised that he didn’t notice me, I am dresses in green janitor outfit after all.”

“He was probably focus on me not you.” James told her while taking another cigarette, he then light it.

“I have wanted to ask you something, what is that in your mouth?”

“It’s called a cigarette,” He took a drag from it and blew the smoke out of his nose and out the open window. “it’s a very unhealthy thing, I don’t recommend it.”

“If it’s unhealthy, why do you use it?”

James didn’t answer right away. “Because I’m an idiot, let’s leave it at that.” Twilight decided not to ask anyone, she look out of the window.

The rest of the way James decided to ask Twilight what her world was like, he said if she told him he would tell her about his world and boy was he surprised. For over four thousand years had Celestia ruled Equestria and her philosophy was friends is magic, James couldn’t help but question Celestia’s way of ruling. Sure, friends is magic sound good on paper but it’s not perfect, eventually it will crumple.

Then James remember something. “Crap, I almost forgot.” Twilight saw James pick up something from between them, it look like a small book, very small book. He then pressed some buttons on it and then she heard a noise. “I really hope that Peppy don’t answer.” Said James.

Eventually Twilight heard a female voice. “Hello?”

“Hey Vivian, it James.”

“Hey James, it’s been a while, do want to talk to Peppy?”

James made a face. “No, I don’t want to talk to him.”

“Don’t tell me your still mad at him.”

“I am mad and I don’t want to talk to him.”

Twilight heard a sad sighed. “I wish you two could stop acting like children.” That made James roll his eyes. “Anyway, what do I owe the pleasure for this call?”

“I have a question, do you still have your old clothes from like five years ago?”

There was moment of silence. “Are you going to dress up like a woman or am I’m missing something?”

“For fuck sake it’s not for me, I picked up a girl today and she needs some clothes and I think she about your size.” He look over to Twilight who became a little nervous.

“Did you pick up a prostitute?”

“Do you really think I would sink that low? Look, can you please come to my place tomorrow with some clothes, I will explain then.”

“You want me to come to your place tomorrow, with some clothes for a girl you pick up? Did I get that right?”

“Yes.”

Vivian was quite for a second, then they heard a sighed. “Fine, but if I get mug tomorrow I’m blaming you.”

“Oh please, your way tougher than anyone that live in my neighborhood.”

Vivian actually giggle. “That I am. Alright James, I will bring some clothes to you tomorrow, I will be there around 11.pm.”

James couldn’t help but smile. “Great, just don’t tell your husband, I don’t want him to tag along.”

“I will, bye James.”

“Bye Vivian.” He then hung up and tossed his phone where he found it, then he notice Twilight was staring at him “What?”

“Who were you talking to and what were you talking through?” Twilight asked him.

“I was talking to a friend of mine by the name of Vivian Hare and I was using my phone to talk to her, don’t you have phones in Equestria?”

Twilight shook her head. “No, we don’t have ‘phones’ in Equestria, we send letters and I use Spike to send letter to princess Celestia. Well, I used to do it.”

James raised his eye brown when he heard that. “You used your dragon to send letter to Celestia?” Twilight nodded. “So, you used him for your personal gain?”

Twilight used her arms to pull her legs up to her chest. "When you put it like that…” Then Twilight mob became sombre so James decided not to ask her anything ells right now.

When they finally arrived at the ‘border’ to the south of the city, Twilight could quickly see the different. The buildings look more worn out, there wasn’t so many people out on the street and it look, it looked dangerous out there, like something was going to happened.

As James drove longer into the south, Twilight became more and more nervous. “Is safe to be here this late?” She asked James while looking out of the window. “It looks pretty dangerous out there.”

“If you know where you going then yes.” James answered in a calm voice.

Twilight look at him. “How can you be so calm?”

James took a drag from his cigarette. “One get used to it.” Twilight wasn’t sure if she believe him.

They eventually arrived at a place that look like an apartment complex, Twilight could see it was on Hope street and she thought the name was a wrong, she couldn’t see any hope here. Twilight could see two girls making out not far from the parking lot where they park, then she notice someone who was getting beat up near some bushes.

“James, there someone in trouble over there.” She told him while pointing where it happened.

James open the door and walk out, he then look over the car and saw that Twilight was right. “I happens from time to time, it’s best to ignore it.”

Twilight was horrified when she heard that. “How can you say that? When someone is in trouble you help them, it’s the right thing to do.”

James sat back in the car to turn of the motor and got the key. “Not around here, if you help then there’s a change your next, it’s how it works around here.” Twilight then look at him with a pleading look, a look that said help him. James tried to ignore it but eventually gave up. “Fine, just stay here.” He got out and closed the door. “Bloody woman.” He mumbled to himself.

When James got to the fighting couple, he could see that it was a bear that was hitting a lion that was lying on the ground. James then tapped the bear on his should so he stop hitting the lion, the bear then turned around. “What the hell do…” That was all he could say before James punches him the stomach and before the bear could react James gave him an uppercut sending on the ground unconscious, he then walk back to the car not bothering to see how the lion was doing.

When James reached the car he open the door for Twilight who got out. “There, I did my good deed for the day.” He told her as she got out.

“You could have handle that in another way, you know that right?”

“Yes I could but have to understand something, this world is different than yours, people mind their own business here and if you interfere then your next, probably.” Twilight became pale when she heard that. “Look, just stick with me and your safe.” It help a little. James then walk over to his side and got inn, he then open the glove compartment to get the gun, he then grabbed his phone and got out of the car, he then closed it and lock it. “Follow me.” He then walk towards the apartment complex.

Twilight was about to follow him when she notice that she didn’t have any shoes on her feet. “James, I’m barefoot.” She said while looking down on her feet.

“Just watch where you are going.” Twilight just frowned as she followed him.

They were about to walk up some stairs when a door open and a wolf with gray fur step up. “McCloud, your late with your pay, hand over the cash.” He then notice Twilight. “And why are you bring home a whore?” Twilight was offend by what he said, she was no whore.

“First off Rydel, I get my paycheck on Monday so you will get your money then.” He then pointed his thumb at Twilight. “She is no whore, she is someone who needs help so I’m letting her stay at my place for a while, do you have a problem with that?”

Rydel spat on the ground. “Your to nice for your own good, you know that right?”

James just gave him a blank look. “I’m aware of that.”

Rydel then lean against the doorframe. “Fine, she can stay at your place but only for a two months but then she have to pay rent like the others, got it?”

James started to walk. “I got it.” Twilight followed him.

As they walk up the stairs. “That guy was a creep.” James smiled of what Twilight said.

They eventually arrived at James place, room thirty two which was on the second floor. “Here we are, home, crappy home.” Said James as he open the door.

As Twilight walk inn and the first thing she saw was a living room with a couch, which had a pillow and planked? She also could see a table and chair, the room also had a two windows. James walk past her and sat down on the couch, he tossed his phone and gun on the table, she decided to sit down on the chair.

While walking she notice a giant black box standing on a coffee table? “James, what’s this?” She asked the fox while pointing at the black box.

“That’s a tv, you don’t have a tv in your world?” Twilight just shook her head. “What heck you guys do to past the time, read?” She gave him a nod. “Dear god, I would die of boredom if I was in your world.”

“We do others things than read, I study which is probably the same thing.” She look at the tv again. “Just what does this ‘tv’ do?”

James took the remote and turned on the tv which scared the crap out of Twilight, she didn’t expect it to come to life. “and another criminal escape the police. Next month is three years ago since planet Venom attack the others planets in the Lylat system and…” James turned the volume off.

“What in Equestria, what kind of black magic is this?” She asked him as she back away a little.

“It’s not magic, it’s technology something we have in this world, you don’t have that in your world?”

“No, we don’t have tv in my world.” Twilight decided to sit down in the chair. “I’m starting to wish I never came here.” She pull her legs up to her chest and mob came sombre.

“Look Twilight, I can’t imagen how your felling right now but I promise you that I know someone who can help and I will call him now,” He picked up his phone. “considering I forgot to do it.” He dialled the number and held the phone to his ear. “Hey Beltino. It’s James.” Twilight heard some mumbling. “Yes, I’m good. Listen is possible we can come by your office on Monday? There something you need to hear.” More mumbling. “Yes, I said we. Look, I can’t talk about it over the phone, can we come to your office on Monday?” Mumbling. “Great, we will se you on Monday.” He hung up and then look at the clock on the phone. “Holly crap, it’s teen in the evening.” He look out the window and saw that the sun was gone. “I didn’t know that.” He then let out yawn. “Do you want to go to bed? Because I want to.”

“Not really, but I’m a little tired and I really want to lie down.”

James got up. “Then follow me.” Twilight got up and followed him.

They didn’t have to walk far considering the apartment was small, James then open a door and they were in a bedroom. “You can use my bed to rest on, I usually sleep on the couch.

Twilight walk in and saw that the room was pretty small, I had a bed, a desk and a closet for clothes.

“It’s pretty small.” She said while walking to bed, she felt it with her hand and it felt pretty soft.

“Yeah, these rooms are, I had a hell of time getting in the bed, thank god I had help. Well, see you tomorrow, god night.”

“God night.”

James then closed the door and Twilight was all alone, she managed to see thanks to some light came through the window. She decided to lay down on it and look up at the celling and she couldn’t help but wonder if her ‘friends’ even missed her, did princess Celestia missed her? Did they even care about her? All those question flew through her mind as she eventually fell asleep.

The Aftermath

Author's Note

Not a bloody word, just read this crappy chapter.

The Aftermath

Libre arrived in Twilight’s room in the castle, he placed his hands on his hips. “Alright, let’s find out what happened and where Twilight disappeared to.” He could see scorch marks on the carpet, he walk over and bent down, he then placed his hand on the carpet. “I’m guessing these are from Twilight, probably a teleport spell that went wrong thanks to her emotions, she was pretty upset after all.” He then scan where it happened. “And I was right,” He stood up. “but where did you end up?”

Libre was about to leave when he heard someone coming, entering the room was none other then Cadence. “Good, you’re here.” She said while entering the room.

“That I am, what can I do for you princess of love?” He asked her.

Cadence wasn't to happy to be called that. “First, don’t call me the princess of love, second, are you really Libre the alicorn of chaos and harmony?”

Libre wasn’t sure where this was going. “Yes, the last time I checked. Is there something I can help you with?”

Cadence pointed at her horn. “I want you to remove my horn.”

Libre didn’t expect that. “I’m not sure if I heard you right, you want me to remove your horn? Which mean that you will lose your power as an alicorn, did I get that right?”

Cadence nodded. “Yes, I don’t want to be a part of whatever Celestia has planed for me, not after the way she threated Twilight.” He mood became dark. “I had a talk with her before I came here and I’m not happy.”

Libre was actually a little afraid right now. “And what about Shining? Are you still going to married him?”

That made Cadence snort. “Heck no, he couldn’t even see that someone had replace me, I don’t want to married someone like that.”

Libre was speechless. “Wow, I have visited many version of Equestria but I have never heard that before. If that’s your choice then who I am to argue and when it comes to your request.” He snap his fingers and Cadence horn disappeared. “There, your horn is gone which mean you’re no longer an alicorn. I also cast a spell on you so Celestia can’t turn you into an alicorn anymore.” She touched her head and her horn was gone, that made her smile. “What are you going to do now?” He asked her.

Cadence did something that took Libre off guard, she gave him a hug, after she left go of him she told him. “First off, I’m going to change into some other clothes then my wedding dress.” She look down on it, it was pretty dirty. “Then I’m going to take a shower concerning I’m dirty and I smell,” She then sniff herself, she gaged a little when she did. Libre couldn’t help but laugh. “After I have done that I’m heading back to Manehattan to stay with some friends there.”

Libre nodded. “Sounds like a plan and here,” he snap his fingers and a bag with bits appeared in front of Cadence, which she managed to catch. “some money for the train ride, consider it as a gift.”

That made Cadence smile. “Thanks. Can you do me a favour?” Libre decided to listen to what she had to say. “Something tells me your going to try and find Twilight, if you do can you tell her not to come back.” Libre didn’t expect to hear that. “Her so called ‘friends’ abandoned her, Celestia didn’t listen to her and she is like a mother to Twilight, Twilight can do so much better.”

Libre gave her a nod. “Sure, I can say that to her if I find her.” Cadence smiled as she then disappeared out the door leaving Libre alone who was just baffled of what Cadence said. “Well that happened.” He then look out the window. “Now, what to do. Should I head back to my Equestria or should I rub what happened into Celestia face?” He placed a hand on his chin. “What to do.” He thought for a second. “Who am I kidding, I love rubbing it in Celestia face.” He then flew out the window.

When it came to Celestia, she was trying to assure Twilight’s friends that she had just teleported home and that she was waiting for them there. “Liar liar your pants are on fire.” Everyone look up and saw Libre hovering over them. “Twilight hasn’t teleport to Ponyville,” He landed right beside them. “when she tried to teleport her magic went wild and now she have teleport off this planet and it’s all your fault.”

Then Celestia spoke. “Your lying, I can still fell Twilight magic, she is not gone.”

“What your felling is her magic that she left behind, she is gone and it’s all thanks to you all considering none of you believe her.”

Everyone knew that Libre was right, they didn’t believe her and now she gone and it’s all thanks to them.

Then Dash open her mouth. “How do we don’t know you’re the one who took Twilight away?”

Libre gave her a blank look. “Really? I took out Chrysalis in one attack and you dear accuse me? You are really arrogant.”

Dash had enough of him, she was about to fly towards him and punch when Libre snap his fingers and her wings disappeared which made her fell on the ground face first. “My wings, what did you do to my wings?” She asked him while looking at her back.

Libre bent down. “I made them disappeared and if you don’t want me to turn you into baby Dash, I suggest you keep your mouth shut considering your one of the reason that Twilight left.” He stood up and look at Celestia. “And you, what do you have to say for yourself?”

Libre gave Celestia a look that made her soul freeze, she had live for a while now but his look what loke none she had ever seen before, she could barely keep a straight face. “I made a mistake but we are correcting it now.” She said with some fear in her voice.

Libre was just disappointing. “Really? That all you have to say? Twilight saw you as a mother and this is how your going to threat her? You got your ass handed to you by Chrysalis who was much weaker that than you, you don’t have any faith in yourself or your magic, you have gotten lazy.” He then look at Shining. “And you,” The captain froze. “Twilight saw you as a big brother but you didn’t listen to her at all, you decided to believe a fake.” Shining look down on the ground in shame, he was right. Libre then look at the girls. “You five are supposed to Twilight’s best friends but you all chose not to listen to her, what kind of friends are you supposed to be?” They all look away in shame. “But the worst of you all is Applejack and Rainbow Dash.” That got their attention. “You two are supposed to be honesty and loyalty but none of you showed that today, Applejack decided to ignore her and Dash wasn’t loyal at all, you don’t deserve your elements.” He look at Celestia. “But you are probably the worst, you were like a mother to Twilight and yet chose to ignore her, some mentor you are. It’s Sunset Shimmer all over again.” Those words hit Celestia right in the heart. “Your all pathetic.” He then started to walk away from them.

“Do, do you know where Twilight is?” Rarity asked him.

“No and even if I did, I would not tell any of you, that’s for sure.”

Libre summoned a portal and walk through it leaving them alone with their thoughts on who they failed Twilight and that they are probably now going to see her ever again.

Vivian

A new day arrived in Cornelia city and the sun was shining in the south of the city straight into a window and straight into a former unicorn, Twilight Sparkle. “Stupide sun.” She tried to roll over the other side, but it was no use, she couldn’t go back to sleep. “I better get up, I hope that Spike has made breakfast.” She sat up and rub her eyes, when she could see again, she notice something. “Wait a minute, this is not my room.” The room she was in was way small then hers, there was almost no space between the bed and wardrobe, Twilight could see some kind of alarm clock on the bedstand. Twilight then notice some clothes on a chair near the door and it was a note lying on the top, she got up and read the note. ‘I picked up some clothes for you to were, I hope they fit. James.’ She remember James. “That’s right, I’m in another world thanks to my spell.” She decided to put on the clothes and then her stomach made a noise, she was hungry, and she hope there was something to eat.

Twilight step out if the bedroom and the first thing she saw was the kitchen, it was a very small kitchen. James was sitting by the table eating, he look to his side and saw Twilight. “Hey there, did you sleep well?” He asked her.

“Yes, I guess I was tired yesterday.” She told him while walking into the kitchen and sitting on the other side of the table. “This is a very small kitchen.” She said while looking around, the kitchen counter was just two meter behind her.

James went back to his food. “That it is, every room in this building is the same and when it came to your sleeping, you had to be very tired considering you didn’t wake up when I walk into bathroom this morning.” Twilight had a horrified look on her. “Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything, I just had to get some clothes for myself, I also found some clothes for you.”

“Yes, thanks for that.” She look down on her white t shirt and blue pants. “This is wat better than a green janitor outfit.”

James couldn’t help but chuckle of what she said. “That it is.” He then heard Twilight stomach which made some noise. “I can hear that someone is hungry.” Twilight just had a blush on her face as she nodded. “Don’t worry.” He open the refrigerator, which was right behind him, he then took out bowl with vegetables in it. “I made you a salat before you woke up, I hope you can eat it.” he place the bowl in front of her.

“Thanks.” She grabbed the fork that was in the salat and started to eat, it was good. While eating, Twilight notice that James was eating French toast, she knew that James could eat meat so he was probably eating toast so he wouldn’t freak her out. “Hey, when is this Vivian coming?” She asked him.

James look at the clock that hang over the entrance to the kitchen. “She said eleven and the clock is a little about seven so around four hours, she is usually on time.” He look back at Twilight. “Why do you ask?”

“I just want to learn more about this world, I don’t know anything about it.”

For some reason, James just smiled. “You like to learn about things, don’t you?”

Twilight just blushed, again. “Yes, I always like to learn and it’s nothing wrong with that.”

James just smiled. “No, there’s nothing wrong with that.” They eat in silence.

After they were done with breakfast, James showed Twilight where the bathroom was so she could take a shower, it was right beside the bedroom and it was almost as small as the kitchen, Twilight couldn’t understand how James could live in this small apartment.

After Twilight had taken her shower, she went to the living room and James was sitting on the couch with some sort of book in his lap? No, it wasn’t a book, it was bigger and way smaller. “What’s that?” She asked him.

“This is a laptop and it’s what we use it for search for information in this world with help of the internet and lucky for you it’s easy to use, let me show you.”

Twilight sat down beside him, and James showed her how to use it and he was right, Twilight thought it was easy to use once he had shown how she took the laptop to the chair and started her search into the cyberverse. James look at his guest and how she captivate by it, he couldn’t help but wonder if he made a mistake showing her the internet.

While Twilight was searching the internet, James decided to watch some tv until Velvet showed up and before they knew it, the clock was 11 and they heard a knock on the door. The knock managed to get Twilight to look up from the computer, she was curious.

James grabbed the gun that was lying on the table in case there was someone who wanted to rob them, he weas about to see who it was through the peephole when…

“James McCloud, if you dare to point that gun at the door, I swear I’m going to kick your ass.” Said a female voice.

James couldn’t help but smile of what Vivian said, the scariest part is that she could do it. He decided to open the door before she kick it inn.

Once James open the door Twilight a hare who had her arms crossed and she didn’t look happy. She had green fur with some light fur, she was wearing some pants, a shirt, and a jacket. She look like she was in her thirty, she was also holding two bags in her hands.

“I can’t believe you made me come here and, on my day off.” She step into the apartment. “This better be important.” Vivian then saw twilight who was looking at her with interest. “So, she was the one you were talking about.” She look over her shoulder. “Where did you pick her up?” She asked James.

James closed the door. “I found her at the school I’m working at.“ He walk over to the table and placed the gun on the table. “Just take her to the bedroom and see if your clothes fits her, she can tell you who she is and where she is from.” He then sat down on the couch.

Vivian was just confused. “What do you mean where she is from?” James didn’t answer her which made Vivian let out a frustrated sighed. “Fine.” Vivian gave Twilight a kind smile. “Hello, my name is Vivian Hare, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Vivian dropped one of her bags to held out a hand to the pony.

Twilight placed the laptop on the table and got up to shake Vivian hand. “I’m Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight gave her a smile.

Then James interrupted them. “Yes, yes. Now that you two know each other, head into my bedroom and see if your clothes fits Twilight.” He then walk over to chair and took the laptop to do some research himself.

Vivian just gave James a disappointing look before shaking her head. “Come on Twilight.” They both walk to James room.

Once there, Vivian placed her bags on the bed. “Alright, let’s see if my old clothes fits you.” She search one of them for some underwear. “Why don’t you take of your clothes so we can get started.” Vivian then notice that Twilight was blushing. “What’s wrong?” Twilight just pointed at the window and Vivian saw that people could look through it, she close the curtains. “There, better?”

“Yes, thank you. I think I sleep with the curtains open last night.”

“You shouldn’t do that, people can see you.” Twilight knew now. “Now, why don’t you take of your clothes and let’s see if my old clothes fits you.”

For thirty minutes Vivian and Twilight try on clothes and lucky for the former unicorn, all of Vivian’s old clothes fit her, even underwear. While they were trying on clothes, Twilight told Vivian where she were from and what had happened to her. Vivian wasn’t sure if she believe her, but she didn’t seem like she was lying, she did feel bad for her for what her friends and mentor did to her. Vivian also talk about herself, where she was from and how she knew James, they knew each other since high school.

“That’s all I brought, and it looks like all of my clothes fits you.” Vivian look at Twilight who was now wearing a blue sweater and a pair of jeans. “Well, do you like it?” She asked Twilight.

Twilight look at herself. “Yes, I’m not fashion guru but I like it.” She said with a smile.

Vivian smile of what she said. “That good to hear.” She then look around the room and saw that there was no placed to put Twilight’s clothes, she was just glad that James had a closet. “I don’t think James would mind if you put your clothes in his closet.” She went over it to place Twilight’s new closet in it. “So, how was your first day in Corneria?” Vivian asked her.

“Well, I woke up naked near a school, I was fascinated by how tall the budlings were when we drove by them, then I saw James punch some in the stomach and then he gave the same person an upper cut after I said he should help someone. You can say it memorable.”

Vivian look at Twilight with a raised eyebrow. “Did you just say that James punch someone?”

Twilight nodded. “Yes, when we arrived here, I saw someone lying on the ground and there was a man that was standing over him beating him up, then I asked James to help, and he just beat up the attacker.”

Vivian nodded in understanding. “I know what you mean but you have to understand something Twilight, this world is very different from yours. We don’t solve everything by talking to each other, sometimes a brawl will happen, but James could probably handle the situation better.” Twilight knew that the world she was in was different, but it didn’t help much. “Look, I know that James can act cold hearted at times but believe me when I say that he has a good heart, you can trust him.”

Twilight rubbed her arm. “I don’t know, I read about him on the laptop and saw that something happened to him three years ago, when there was a war here.”

Vivian made a face. “Yes, I remember that.” She let out sighed. “To be honest, I have no idea what happened to him three years ago, I only know my husband Peppy Hare was involved and he’s not telling me anything. He says it’s for my safety,” That made her snort. “safety my ass, it’s all a big cover up from the government nothing more.”

Then Twilight asked another question. “What about the girl in the picture that is on a shelf in the living room? I also saw a child in the picture.”

That made Vivian frown. “That’s James ex Vixy Reinard and his son Fox McCloud, she just left him not long after the war ended and move to another city, she said he became distant from him which I think is a lie. I think she don’t want him near Fox.”

Twilight tilted her head to the side in confusion. “Why?”

Vivian just shrugged her shoulders. “I have no idea, she didn’t tell me which I think is rude considering I have known her since we were kids.” Twilight nodded in understanding.

Twilight then decided to ask another question. “Yesterday, James called someone by the name Beltino and I think he can help me get home. Is that true?”

Then Vivian did something that Twilight didn’t not expect, she giggle. “Sorry, I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing that James actually call Beltino, considering they haven’t talk in a while, their last conversation was a little weird. Anyway, to answer your question. Yes, Beltino is the man who can get home, if there’s a way he will find it, I’m certain of it. Now come on, let’s see if James likes your new clothes.” They both walk out of the bedroom.

Once they arrived in the living room, they saw James sitting on the couch with the laptop. “What are you looking for?” Vivian asked him.

“I’m just confirming that Equestria and Ponyville doesn’t exist in our world.” He closet the laptop. “It doesn’t.” He then saw Twilight new clothes. “They look good at you.” Twilight actually blushed and she had no idea why.

Then Vivian spoke. “Well, I think my work her is done. James, can I talk to outside?” James couldn’t help but wonder what she wanted so he got up and followed her out the door.

Once outside, James closed the door. “So, what do you want to talk about?” He asked Vivian.

Vivian look around to see if anyone was around, there was one who was lying on the floor but it look like he was pas out. “What’s the plan with Twilight and do you believe her that she is from another world?”

Somehow James knew this would come up. “My plan is to find a way home to her world, I’m not sure if she will survive in this world, her world is about friendship and the Lylat system is fifth/fifth when it comes to that stuff and yes, I believe her.”

Vivian hate to admit it but James had a point. “And if there’s no way to get her home, then what?”

That was a good question. “Then I will take care of her, I will not let anything happened to her.”

That made Vivian smile. “You know, for someone who change after the war, you still have a good heart James McCloud.” James just dismiss that. “before I go I just wanted to let you know I have pay for your rent for six months.”

James groaned when he heard that. “Vivian…”

“I just wanted to be nice to you and beside, you need the extra money if you are going to take care of Twilight..” Vivian wasn’t wrong about that part. “Also, how are you going to fix that broken taillight?” James raised an eyebrow when he hear that. “I saw your car when I arrived.”

“I was think about asking Mike, I want to see if I can get a discount from him since we have know each other since middle school.”

“That’s right, he’s a mechanic.” Then out of the blue, Vivian gave James a hug which took him off guard. “It was good to see you again James.” She then released the hug and started to walk towards the stairs. “Don’t be a stranger.” She waved goodbye to him and disappeared down the stairs.

James smiled a little before he walk into the apartment.

Author's Note

It's been a while with this story and my excuse? I have been busy with my other stories.

In the next chapter we are going back to Equestria to see what happened to Spike and Cadence.

Spike and Cadence

Spike open the door to the Golden Oka library and the first thing he notice, Twilight was not there. “I wonder where she is.” He said as he closed the door. Spike walk over to the couch and let out a tiring sighed. He then decided to laid down on the couch and started at the ceiling, he was about to take a nap when someone knock on the door. “The library is closed.” It didn’t work, the knocking counited. “Go away.” He told whoever it was.

“If I go away then I can’t tell you what happened to Twilight.” Said a voice.

When Spike heard that he tried to get up so fast that he fell on the floor. “Damn it.” He said while getting up, he then ran to the door and open it, there stood the same alicorn that defeated Chrysalis. “It’s you.” Spike said with some marvel in his voice, he thought how he defeat her was so cool, he did it without breaking a sweat.

“Yes Spike, it’s me. Can I come inn? I would like to talk to you.” Spike step aside so he could walk inn but… “Son a bitch.” Spike look out and saw that Libre was rubbing the base of his horn. “Damn it, I forget how tall I am in this form.” He snap his finger and then he became a unicorn with black for and white hair/tail, he was smaller. He then walk in without hitting his horn in the doorframe. “This is much better.” He rubbed the base of his horn again.

“So, you said you knew what happened to Twilight.” Said Spike.

Libre gave him a nod. “That’s right. You see Spike, after Twilight failed to convince her so called 'friends' that the Cadance was a fake, she headed to her room in the castle, there she just wanted to go home so she caste a teleporting spell but thanks to her emotions she used to much magic and disappeared.”

Spike let out a ‘oh’ when he heard that Twilight’s magic went out of control. “Twilight is very powerful so I guess that could happened, but where is she?”

Libre scratched his head. “Now, that’s a question and to be honest, I have no idea.”

Spike didn’t like that. “How can you not know? You’re an alicorn for fuck sake.” Spike shouted at him.

Libre was shock to hear that Spike cursed. “Alright, just calm down Spike and I will try and explain.” Spike took a few deep breath to calm himself down. “The reason I don’t know where Twilight is because I can’t track her magic, I think she have ended up in a world where magic doesn’t exist, considering I can’t find her in the other Equestria’s.”

Spike had no idea what he was talking about. “What do you mean by ‘other Equestria’s’?”

“Haven’t Twilight talk about alternate universe?”

Spike shrugged his shoulders. “Probably, I usually stop listening to her when she goes on a rant.”

Libre couldn’t help but chuckle when he hear that. “Yeah, she dose that sometimes.” He then rolled his shoulders. “An alternate Equestria is an Equestria which is like the one you live in but different,” He then drew a circle in the air. “there’s one where there’s more then six elements and Twilight is not the element of magic, that element doesn’t exist in that world.” He then drew another circle. “Then we have a Equestria where Celestia ignored Luna for three years after she return, she was so focused on Twilight and the others that she drove Luna away, Luna traveled to another world, like Twilight did.” He then drew the last circle. “Then we have a Equestria where you are the prince of the dragon kingdom.” Spike like that Equestria.

Spike nodded in understanding, he actually understood that. “So, Twilight is in another world far from Equestria. Right?”

Libre gave him a thumbs up. “That’s right and I’m going to find her and see if she wants to come home.”

When spike heard that he went over to the table and took one of the scroll that was on the table, he then took a pen and started to write on it, when he was done he went back to Libre. “If you find her, can you give this to her.” He said while handing Libre the scroll. “And I would appreciate that you don’t read it, it’s for Twilight not you.”

Libre took the scroll and placed it in his inner pocket in his jacket. “I will give it to her if I find her and I will not read it.” He then walk towards the door, he stop by the door. “What are you going to do now?” He asked the dragon.

“I am going to keep Golden Oak library open because that’s what Twilight want’s.” Spike said it with pride in his voice.

Libre just smiled. “I think she will appreciate that, see you around Spike.” Then he left to search for Twilight.

The next day Cadence had finally arrived in Manehattan, when she step out of the train she stretched her body. “I’m finally home again.” Shen then took in the smell. “It smells like home, hayburge and all that crap.” She then started to walk towards the city. “I wonder if Azure still live here, I guess I’ll find out.”

After some walking Cadence arrived at an apartment complex, she walk in and found out that she still lived there, apartment 6, Cadence headed there.

Once Cadence found apartment 6 she knock on the door, it didn’t take long before a dark blue pegasus with red hair open the door. “Who the hell can this… Cadence?”

Cadence waved at her friend. "Hey Azure, how is it…” That was all she could say because Azure gave her a hug.

“I have missed you Cadence.” Azure said with tears in her eyes.

Cadence return the hug. “I missed you to Azure.” They let go of the hug.

Azure then notice something. “Hey, where’s you horn? Aren’t you a princess anymore?”

Cadence mod became somber. “About that, can we talk inside?”

Azure nodded. “Sure.” They both walk inn.

Once inside the apartment Cadence told her friend what had happened and Azure wasn’t to happy of what she heard. “That bitch, she is supposed to be our ruler and she can’t see a fake ‘you’ when it right in front of her? I have lost all respect of princess Celestia.”

Cadence was surprised to hear that. “So, you believe me?”

Azure gave her nod. “Off course, you have never lied before and I’m pretty sure are telling the truth.”

That made Cadence smile. “Thanks Azure.”

Azure just waved a hand. “Don’t mention it.” She then leaned back in the chair she was sitting in. “So, what are you going to do now?” She asked her friend.

Cadence look down on the floor. “I don’t know,” She look up at her friend. “I was hoping to stay here for a while until I find out what I want to do.”

Azure didn’t mind. “You can stay here as long as you want, just remember to pull down the toilet when you’re done.”

Cadence just rolled her eyes of what her friend said, she just hope she found a job soon.

Author's Note

Another short and crappy chapter.

Libre has the power to travel through different Equestria's.

We are heading back to Corneria in the next chapter.

Meet the Neighbor

After Velvet left, Twilight went back to the computer, she wanted to learn more about the world she was in, the Lylat System. There was eight plants, the first one was Corneria and most of the population live there, it was over 5 billion and her brain hurt again. Then there was the planet Katina, there was a few cities on the plant but it’s more like defense post, most of Corneria’s army fighters was there. Next was the water planet Aquas, the plant was 97% water and there was only one city there which was just like a defense post just like Katina. Ice planet Fichina was the coldest planet in the system, it could get to under 53 Celsius, Twilight shudder just thinking about the cold on that planet. She couldn’t find anything much about the planet, only the cold and some animal lived there. Then there was the toxic planet Zoness, Zoness was almost like Aquas but it had been ruined by people dumbing toxic waste in the ocean, there was some that lived there but not many. Solar was their version of the sun. Macbeth was the third largest planet in the system and it belong to the Venomians, they produced weapons there. Then there was Venom the largest planet in the system, the entire planet was toxic waste, it was almost impossible to breath the air there and there’s no proof if anyone is even living there at all.

There was some more but Twilight was interrupted by someone knocking on the door like crazy. “For fuck sake James, let me in, my bladder is going to explode soon.” Twilight could hear that it was a female. James just got up and walk to the door with a smile on his face, he open the door and a female cheetah ran past him. “Thank you.” She then disappeared into the bathroom.

Twilight just watch where the girl had vanishing to, then she asked the question. “James, who was that?”

James closed the door. “That was Veronica, she is one of my neighbors and she is one of the nicest.” He told Twilight as he sat down on the couch. “I’m not sure what her excuse is this time.”

It didn’t take long before Veronica came back out. “I really need that. Thanks James.”

The fox just smiled. “Your welcome and what’s your excuse this time?” He asked her.

Veronica placed her hands on her hips. “A friend of mine is crashing at my place and he boyfriend is visiting her, they are having sex in the bathroom and when I came back from the shop I really had to pee but they had lock the door so I came here.” She then notice Twilight. “What the…? Did you bring home a hooker?”

Twilight actually blushed when she heard that while James mouth fell open. “What the hell V, you know me better than that.”

Veronica then smiled. “Relax, I’m only joking.” She said while placing both hands behind her head.

James was not amused. “It’s not funny.” He told her.

Veronica just rolled her eyes. “Alright, I hear you.” She then walk over to Twilight and offer her a hand. “Hey, my name is Veronica Murphy and I’m sorry that I said you were a hooker, I have a bad sense of humor.”

Twilight couldn’t help but think that this girl acted like Dash. “I’m Twilight sparkle.” She told Veronica while shaking her hand.

“Nice to meet you Twilight. So, what’s your story?” Veronica asked as she let go of Twilight’s hand.

That question took Twilight of guard, should she tell her where she was from and how she ended up Corneria city? Id she told her then Veronica would probably think she was crazy, or she wouldn’t believe her, at all. She look over to James who was just as calm as he has been, he probably want her to hand this own her own.

“You can say that I had some trouble back home and James is helping with a new life.” Twilight hope that she bought it, she is terrible at lying.

Veronica just look at her and Twilight wasn’t sure if she bought it or not. “Everyone need a new start in life, which town are you from?”

That was a question Twilight didn’t want to hear, if she told her the name of a city on this planet then she would probably just search her name for that city, she would probably do it anyway.

Then James deiced to speak. “Come on V, don’t bother her to much, she had it hard before she got here.”

Veronica just let out a sighed. “Alright, alright. I asked to much.” She then headed to the door. “I have to go anyway, I have to kick my friend and her fuck friend out of my bathroom and apartment.” She then open door. “See you around James.” She then walk out and closed the door.

James got up to lock the door. “I hope that Veronica didn’t say anything that upset you.” He asked as he sat down.

Twilight blink a few times. “Like what?” She asked James.

“That she make you mention what happened before you got here.”

To James surprised, Twilight shock her head. “No, I really don’t care what happened. I’m glad that I’m here.” One can say that James was surprised of what she said but he didn’t buy it, not at all.

Later that night James was on his way to the bathroom, he was sleeping but then he had to pee. “I hate waking up this late just to go to the bathroom, I think I’m getting old.” He mumbled to himself.

Right before he was about to enter the bathroom he could hear crying from his bedroom, it was probably twilight so he decided to see if she was okay. The door was ajar so he could see into the room and what he saw broke his heart, Twilight was lying in the bed crying. She wasn’t saying anything but somehow he knew why she was crying, she missed her home. Even after her friend and Celestia didn’t believe her, she still miss home.

James couldn’t help but feel bad for her. “I really hope that Beltino can help her.” He carefully closed the door and hope that she would be alright.

Author's Note

It's a short chapter, I will try and make the next one longer.

Poker Night

Twilight woke up when the sun shined in her face. “I have to close the curtain.” She said to herself as she sat up in the bed and started to rub the tiredness out of eyes, she then look around the room and saw that it was James room, not hers. “I guess I’m still in another world.” She let out a tired sighed. “I wonder if this Beltino can send me home.” Then her stomach made some noise. “I guess it’s breakfast.” She got up, got dress and headed out the door.

Once she got to the kitchen she could see James already there eating, it look like cereal. Twilight could see that he had made food for her, salat.

“Morning.” James told her as she sat down by the table. Twilight just gave him a nod as she started to eat.

While they were eating, James keep looking at her with a worried look and Twilight notice that. “What?” She asked him.

“You were crying last night, I heard you.” Twilight was surprised to hear that. “I’m guessing you still miss home.”

Twilight look down on the table in sadness. “Yes, my friends and princess Celestia might have threaten me like crap before I ended up her but it’s still my home.” She then started to eat her food.

James couldn’t help but feel bad for Twilight, nobody wasn’t to away from home. “Don’t worry, if anyone can get you home to your world it’s Beltion and if he don’t, I will personally fly you there myself.” He then realized how bad his idea was. “If I knew where it was.”

Twilight couldn’t help but laugh of what James said and she didn’t know why. “So, do you usually do something on Sunday?” She asked him.

“I usually go to one of my friends and have a poker night, can you play poker?” James asked the pony.

Twilight shrugged her shoulder. “I have play a few times but I always lose, I don’t have a poker face.”

James just smiled. “Yeah, you go to have a poker face.” Twilight agreed with that.

“If you want to go you can go, I will be fine by myself.” Twilight told James.

James shook his head. “Excuse my language but hell no, I am not leaving you alone in this place, there are too many assholes who would take advance of you.”

Twilight didn’t like the sound of that but she didn’t him to keep protecting him, he had his own life. Then she got an idea. “What about Veronica? Can’t she keep me company while you are with your friends?”

James tried to find anything bad about that idea, he couldn’t. “That’s not a bad idea, if she can and want’s to then I have no problem with it. But, if she don’t want to I’m staying.” Twilight agreed with that because she really didn’t want to be alone in this place, not after she saw someone beat up another person.

“Who are there friends of yours?” Twilight asked him.

“Just some friends from high school and college.” He answered her.

The time had arrived for James to leave and as he was getting ready, then someone knock on the door so James walk over and open it, on the other side stood Veronica.

“Thanks for doing this Veronica.” James told her as she step as so she could go inside.

“You can be glad that I didn’t have to work today and beside, this beat sitting inside and watching the tv all day. It’s a nice change of my daily routine.” Said Veronica as she walk inside.

“And that I promise you money if I won.” That made Veronica smile and James to roll his eyes. “I’ll be back in a few hours, try and behave Veronica.” Before she could answer, James had walk out and closed the door.

Veronica then placed both hands on her hips hand huffed. “Who does he think I am.” She then look over to the pony who was sitting in the chair, just looking at her. “So, what’s up?” Twilight didn’t know how to respond to that.

James on the other hand had managed to get to is car, he was about to open the door when some called out his name. “Hey, James.” He look in the direction of the voice and saw the same bear that was beating up the lion two day ago. “We need to have a talk.”

James wasn’t in the mood for this right now. “What do you want Steve?” He asked in a bored tone.

The bear knows as Steve pointed a finger at James. “Why did you interrupt my business on Friday?”

James raised an eye brown. “Business? You were beating up someone, that’s not business.”

“He owes me money and thanks to you he got away, if you dare to interr…”

James did that by pulling out his gun and pointed at Steve’s head. “Why don’t I just plow your brains out, then your customers doesn’t have to worry about getting beaten up by you.”

Steve back away with his hands raised, he was terrified right now. “Hey now, don’t do anything you will regret.” He really hoped that James didn’t kill him.

“Listen, the only reason I stop you was because someone ask me to do it, she didn’t like to see you beat up someone.” James explained to him. “Why don’t we make out deal if you stop handling your business in the parking lot I won’t blow your brains out, deal?”

Steve was now sweating. “Sure, just don’t kill me.”

That made James smile. “Good. Now, get lost.” Steve ran like he was chased by the devil. James open the door to his car and got in, he then placed the gun in his glove compartment. “Idiot, the gun isn’t loaded.” He said with smirk on his face. then started the car and drove off.

When it came to Twilight, she was still siting the chair looking at Veronica who had her feet’s on table, watching the tv. “Is there something you want to ask me?” That Veronica asked that question surprised Twilight, she didn’t expect it.

“I was just wondering how you meet James, those I have seen that live here isn’t very nice, what makes you so different?”

Twilight thought that Veronica would be mad but to her surprised, Veronica just smiled. “I met James just after I moved in here, about two years ago. Some idiot tried to seduce me, I didn’t want to and he didn’t take no for an answer. Then he tried to rap me but before he could, James grabbed him by the shoulders and slammed his face into the wall, knocking him out.” Twilight wasn’t surprised when she heard what James did, he was very violent her first day. “After that day we became friends which is a good thing concerning most of the men that live in this place are asshole.”

Twilight couldn’t help but wonder how she ended up here. “Then why do you live here? When there are so many bad men?”

Veronica got a gloomy face. “I had to move to this part of the town because I lost my job as a teacher, now I work as striper at the local strip club.” She said with sadness in her voice.

“What happened?” Twilight asked her.

Veronica look at her. “Tell you what, if I tell you what happened to me then you will tell me where you are from, something tells me you are not from Cornelia. Deal?” Veronica then stretched out her hand.

Twilight wasn’t sure if she could trust Veronica, she barely knew her. On the other hand, it look like James trusted her. Twilight wanted to tell her but she wasn’t sure. “I don’t know.” Twilight told Veronica as she placed her legs closed to her body with the help of her arms.

Veronica saw that Twilight didn’t trust her, she had to make her trust her and she knew how. “Alright, I will tell you why I think you’re not from around her and that’s because you are a pony.” Twilight was now confused. “ Ponies are very rare race in the Lylat system, only 0.2 % of the population are ponies.” Twilight didn’t know that. “And I promise to keep your story a secret.” Somehow Twilight believe her so she shocked her hand. “Alright, I will tell you my story.”

Veronica had to take a deep breath to prepare to tell her story. “Ever since I was young I wanted to be a teacher and when I got old enough I got a job as a teacher at one of the schools Cornelia east, that was my happiest day of my life.” Then her face became somber. “But it didn’t last. At the school worked an asshole of a principal and he cost me my job.” Twilight couldn’t help but wonder what this person did. “You see, this principal had the hots for me and I’m pretty sure he wanted to get into my pants.” Twilight just blushed when she heard that.

“What happened?” Twilight asked Veronica.

“He asked me out so many times that I lost couldn’t but I had a rule, don’t go out with the people I work with. He didn’t take it lightly.”

Twilight didn’t buy her ruler, there had to be more to it. “Was it your ruler the only reason?” She asked Veronica.

The cheetah shook her head. “No, that’s not the only reason, I’m a lesbian.” Twilight’s eyes widen, she didn’t expect to hear that. “And the principal didn’t like that I was a lesbian at all, so he made sure to ruin my career by telling that I tried to seduce him and that I forced him to have sex with me, which was all a lie.”

“How did you get fired if it was all a lie?” Twilight asked.

“Because he was the son of some rich asshole who had connections, so the principal’s father made some calls and I ended up getting fired for something I didn’t do.” Veronica had to wipe away some tears in her eyes. “I tried to get work in another school but it was too late, they had heard what the lies and I didn’t get any work, so I moved here and started to work as a striper. I know I could have gotten any other jobs but I didn’t care at the moment, and here I am.” Veronica closed her eyes to calm herself down. “Now, I have told you my story, your turn.”

Twilight couldn’t help but feel bad for Veronica but there was nothing she could do, she wasn’t from this place. Then Twilight started to tell Veronica where she was from and what happened to her before she meet James.

After Twilight told her story, she saw that Veronica was furious which was unexpected. Twilight thought that Veronica would look at her as she was crazy.

“Those little bitches, if I ever meet them I going to give them hell and the bitch Celestia, what the hell is her problem?” Veronica was breathing very heavily. “I’m going to break that horn of her head.” A little to extreme but Twilight didn’t dare to say anything.

Twilight was a little afraid, Veronica remined her when Luna was Nightmare Moon. “So, you believe me?” She managed to ask the cheetah.

Veronica tried to calm herself down. “Well, I have some trouble that pegasus can control the weather but the other part? Yeah, I believe you.” Twilight didn’t expect that. “But I still can’t believe what they did to do at the wedding, they was acting like children. Grow up you assholes.” Twilight decided to let Veronica to calm herself down.

James had finally arrived at the apartment block where the poker night was held, he parked the car, turned it off and got out. Once he arrived at the door where he friend lived, he knock on the door and it didn’t take long before he heard movement on the other side.

“What’s the password?” Someone said on the other side of the door.

James just rolled his eyes. “How about, open this door before I kick it down and kick your ass.” He said with some anger in his voice.

The door open and looking at James with a deadpan look was a golden eagle. “I can still see that you have no humor.”

James just match the eagle look. “I can still see that you don’t have one.” James walk past him. “Jackass.”

“Hey, at least I’m trying.” The eagle closed the door. “And can you stop calling me jackass or have you forgotten that my name is Jack?” Jack told James in an annoying tone.

James just smirked. “Sure, when you stop acting like a jackass.” Jack just rolled his eyes.

James and Jack became friends in high school and they stay in touch ever since, even when James became a space pilot and Jack working at the local electronic shop, Radio-Active.

Jack just walk past him. “Why I am friends with you?” He mumbled to himself.

“Because I have saved your ass more than once.” James told him as he took of his jacket.

When James arrived in the living room, where they were playing, three other sat around a table. Closet to the door was a white wolf, his name is Collin and he was the oldest of them, one year older than James. Collin work as a personal trainer at the gym Power Fitness and he was very fit, James meet him in middle school. Left to him was a lion by the name of Hiro, James knew him since flight school and they fought in the war together, he is now a flight instructor. To Collin’s left was a Cheetah by the name of Bento, he work as a mechanic and owns his own business, Clean Getaway, James meet him in college. As time went on, James introduced them and they became good friends.

James sat down beside Hiro. “Look who decide to show up, what keep you?” Hiro asked James.

“I had to drive from the south, it takes time.” James answered with some annoyance.

“Excuses, excuses. It should take around forty five minutes to drive here, I think something ells happened.” James decided to ignore him, the problem with Hiro that he was very curious and he is almost impossible to stop.

Then Jack came from the kitchen with some snack. “Just leave him alone Hiro, if he doesn’t want to tell, then don’t push him.” He told his friend as he placed two bowls on the table and sat down.

Hiro started to shuffle the cards he had in his hands. “You guys are no fun.” After he was done shuffling he dealt out five to each of the others. “Let’s just play.” He put down the deck and pick up his five cards, the other did the same.

When it came to Twilight and Veronica, both of them were bored. Twilight was sitting the chair watching the news while Veronica was lying on the couch, looking at the ceiling. “Man, if knew it would be this boring I would have brought some toys so I could have some fun.” Twilight didn’t want to know what she meant by that. Veronica look over the pony. “What do ponies do for fun in your world?” She asked Twilight.

“I usually study or hang out with my friends.”

“Right.” She went back to the ceiling. “I forgot that you don’t have technology in your world, must be boring.” Then she got an idea. “I will right back.” She got up from the couch and ran to the door, she open it and ran out leaving Twilight alone.

Twilight wasn’t sure what just happened as she look at the door, Veronica was supposed to keep her company until James return but she just left. Twilight got up from the chair and walk to the door to close it, she hope that Veronica came back.

It didn’t take long before Twilight heard noise from the other side of the door. “What the..?” The door open and Veronica came in with something in her arms. “Did I close the door?” She asked the former unicorn.

“You left and James said that door should be closed, just be glad that I didn’t lock it.” Veronica was glad that she didn’t lock it. “What are you caring?”

Veronica look down at the black device. “This is a gaming system, it’s what I use to pass the time.” She placed it in front of James tv. “I didn’t think to bring before, I feel pretty stupid by that.” Not Twilight was curious, she had no idea what a gaming system was but she wanted to know. “So, do you want to play?” Yes, she did.

Back with James and his friends, James was wining and his friends didn’t like it. “Read them and weep.” He placed the card on the table and it was four queens.

“Damn it.” Said everyone at the same time as the slammed their card on the table.

“How the hell are you so good at poker?” Hiro asked his friend.

James just took their money. “It’s not my fault that none of you have a poker face, your too easy to read.”

Then Collin stood up. “Either way, I’m done. “If I lose more money my wife will kill me.” He then look at clock on his phone. “And it’s getting late, I have to get home say good night to my daughter.”

“I still can’t believe that you’re a father.” Said Hiro as she took out a cigarette from the backed, he then put in his mouth and light it.

“The universes works in mysterious way my friends.” He then put on his jacket that was hanging on the chair. “See you guys around.” He told them as he walk to the door, the others said goodbye.

“I still can’t believe that he’s a father.” Said Hiro as he took a drag of the cigarette.”

Then James stood up. “I better go to.” He then took the cash he had won.

“Don’t tell me your heading home to your wife?” Said Hiro with some tease in his voice.

“If you mean my wife that ran of my two years son, then no. As Collin said, it’s getting late and I don’t want to drive at night in my neighborhood, it’s dangerous as it is.” James was right about that. “By the way Bento,” He look at the Cheetah. “I coming over to your workshop tomorrow to have my back light fix.”

Bento nodded. “Sure, just stop by when you came.” James thanked him and said goodbye to his Friends.

James parked the car in parking lot, turned of the engine, got out and lock the car. Once he reached his door he could hear voices, it had to be Twilight and Veronica.”

“Do you really think you can beat me like that?” That was Veronica and what the hell were they doing.

“It’s my first time, go easy on me.” James had only one thought, what?

James open the door and he wasn’t expecting seeing Twilight and Veronica sitting on the floor playing videogame, it look like Twilight was really into it.

“Come one, yes.” Veronica then threw her hands up in the air. “I beat you again Twilight.” The pony just slumber down in defeat.

Then James spoke up. “What’s going on?”

Both girls look in his direction. “What does it look like? We are paying a videogame.”

“I can see that, where did you get it from?” James asked Veronica.

“I had it for a while and I’m impressed that it still work, are you done playing poker with your friends?” She asked him.

“Yeah, so you can go home, you don’t have to babysit anymore.”

Veronica rolled her eyes. “Funny.” She got up and stretched her body. “Well, it’s been fun but it’s time for me to go.” She look over at Twilight. “You can keep the game console, you need to practice.” James was about to take out some money to give to Veronica, she stop him. “Keep it, you need it more then me.” She walk to the door. “See you two around.” She then left.

Then James and Twilight was alone in the apartment. “She is was very strange girl.” Said Twilight and she was right.

Back in Equestria, Spike was busy cleaning the library. He promise himself that he would keep Golden Oka library open until Twilight returned and he would also do if she didn’t returned, he really hope that she did.

Spike was done with mobbing the floor. “There all finished.” He told himself as he wiped away some sweat from his forehead, he rested his hand on the end of the mob. “I really hope this Libra can find Twilight.” He was about to put away what he used to cleaned when the door open. “Welcome to…” His mood drop when he saw who entered, it was five mares he didn’t want to see. “What are you five doing here?” He asked Twilight’s former friends with venom in his voice.

Rarity was the first to notice Spike’s mood. “You don’t have to be so hostile, we only want to see how you are doing.” The others agreed.

“Oh no, you five are banned from the library.” He told five mares.

What Spike said shocked every one of them. “Why?” Asked Rarity.

Spike couldn’t believe she asked? “Why? Are you five stupide or something? You are banned from the library because how you all threated Twilight, it’s because you five and Celestia that she isn’t here anymore.” They didn’t want to admit but he was right, they were part of why Twilight is gone. Before they could say anything. “I’m going to say this only one time,” He pointed at the door. “get the hell out.” All of them was shocked that Spike cursed but they didn’t say anything, they just left.

Spike was glad they left, he remember the wedding, he was the only one that believe Twilight. Twilight told him to keep an eye on the fake Cadance. But before he could anything, Libre came and took care of her. After he had learned that Twilight had disappeared, he promised her that he would take care of the library and he was going to keep that promised.

Author's Note

When it comes to Spike and the girls, I thought it would be fun that he banned them from the library.
